And many on Italia’s shore;

In Germany a thousand more.

In Britain, too, are poets found,

For Britain is poetic ground,

Milton and Shakespeare are her pride,

And Pope and hundreds more beside.

E’en now we’ve Southeys, Scots and Byrons,

And Moore, whose songs are sweet as syrens’!

Another poet, too, have we;

The Great L-ke B—k—r, LL. D.!!!
